Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-1848:
---------------------------------------
{quote}
cassandra-all-___.jar (the current jar)
cassandra-thrift-___.jar (the thrift client)
cassandra-avro-___.jar (the avro client)
cassandra-hadoop-___.jar (the hadoop support classes)
cassandra-server-jar (the remainder of cassandra-all after removing the above
three)

Why the -all jar? That seems redundant to me.
bq. Could we get that in the 0.7.0 time frame (so I can get the maven
publishing of at least the thrift and avro client jars in the 0.7.0 timeframe)
No, we're too close to the release to be making changes with the potential for
disruption this has.

I am less concerned with the thrift & avro jars containing more than they
should, as the key here is to trim the dependencies down to those that are
available in central... as cassandra is modifying avro, and avro is an apache
project, it is no big deal to publish the cassandra avro special build under
the org.apache.cassandra gId, the same goes for libthrift.

I think it's worth the (minor) effort to get those packages pared down to just
client code. And, fwiw there are classes in there with dependencies outside
Thrift/Avro.

> Most client applications written in Java include the full
> apache-cassandra-x.y.z.jar in their classpath. I propose to separate the avro
> and thrift classes into separate jars.
